ABSTRACT

It is known that dyslipidemic hyprtension is linked with metabolic syndrome related to insulin resistance. In this article, it is attempted to study the prevalence of dyslipidemic hypertension in a population of North India. 1119 selected participants were evaluated in Medical OPD (MOPD) of Dr RML Institute of Medical Sciences, Lucknow (DR RML. IMS, LKO), India from study population from Northern India wef Apr 2017 to Apr 2020 The frequency of dyslipidemia was 38% and of hypertension was 26.5%; the conjoint frequency (dyslipidemic hypertension) was 15.0%, which is 1.49 times the expected value if the two diseases were independent (P < .05). Using a discrete multivariate model, dyslipidemia and hypertension were associated with sex, obesity, and diabetes mellitus. The excess association of dyslipidemic hypertension, compared with individual effects of dyslipidemia and hypertension, was not related to these factors This study suggests that dyslipidemic hypertension is common but may not be a unique entity associated with a distinct metabolic syndrome.
